1
00:00:02,210 --> 00:00:03,640
Now that we know that

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,080
backend development is a thing

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,510
and why we do have server-side code for some websites,

4
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:14,700
in this course section, I wanna dive into NodeJS.

5
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:18,270
And I'm wanna get you started with NodeJS,

6
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:22,510
because as mentioned in the previous course section,

7
00:00:22,510 --> 00:00:25,260
we will be using NodeJS

8
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:28,590
as a server-side programming language,

9
00:00:28,590 --> 00:00:30,640
because it allows us to leverage

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,160
our existing JavaScript knowledge,

11
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:37,280
and it's a very popular and highly performant

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,233
programming language that we can use on the server-side.

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,640
Now, in this course section,

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,640
we're going to get started with NodeJS,

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,750
and therefore, we are briefly going to revisit

16
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:52,570
what exactly NodeJS is and how it works.

17
00:00:52,570 --> 00:00:55,750
But then we will focus on installing it

18
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:57,370
and getting started with it,

19
00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:00,540
and we will see how we can execute

20
00:01:00,540 --> 00:01:03,660
JavaScript code with NodeJS.

21
00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:06,210
And of course, in this course section,

22
00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:11,000
we are going to build our first NodeJS driven website,

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,593
and we are therefore going to write our first NodeJS code.
